Description

On the west coast of Normandy, the motorhome area of Pirou welcomes travelers with spacious pitches and all practical services: electrical hookup, waste drain point and water supply. Ideal for enjoying the nearby coastline, it makes access easy to fine sandy beaches suitable for swimming and water activities, as well as to wild dunes edged with hiking trails. The village preserves a rich historical and natural heritage, with well-preserved medieval architecture, cobbled lanes and half-timbered houses that invite strolling. Don’t forget to take a look at the weekly market to discover local products and the area's rustic atmosphere.

Tourisme

Pirou (Manche, France)

Pirou is a coastal village in the Cotentin, set between Norman bocage and the English Channel coastline. It features a fortified medieval castle, sandy beaches and wetlands suitable for birdwatching. The atmosphere is rural and peaceful, with hamlets, meadows and paths that invite walking. Its location allows easy access to the department's main sites without losing the charm of a little-visited village.

Heritage and history

The village is best known for its Château de Pirou, clearly visible from the road and open to the public according to the seasons. The defensive structures and outbuildings bear witness to a local history linked to coastal defence and seigneurial life. In the town, a few old houses and the layout of rural fabric illustrate the commune's agricultural past.

Nature and landscapes

The area offers a marked contrast between beach, dunes and marshes. Wet parcels and canals encourage the presence of migratory birds and flora typical of the Manche coastline. Sunrises and sunsets over the sea provide beautiful photographic opportunities, while the trails allow for quiet walks by the water.

Outdoor activities

Pirou lends itself to walking and cycling on small roads and paths. The beach invites family play and relaxation; shore fishing is a common practice during spring tides. Amateur ornithologists will find interesting observation points in the nearby wetlands.

Gastronomy and local products

Local cuisine highlights products from the sea and the Norman bocage: fish, shellfish, cidre and regional cheeses. Restaurants and guest tables in the area often offer simple, seasonal dishes faithful to Norman flavours.
